Welcome to another day in the life of KevTee, where every journey brings a new adventure in the world of scrap car collection. Join me as I hit the road in the trusty Renault car transporter, navigating through towns and countryside to rescue vehicles that have reached the end of their road.
In each video, I take you along for the ride, sharing the ins and outs of my day-to-day work. From residential driveways to commercial lots, I encounter a variety of vehicles, each with its own story. Whether it's a classic car that's seen better days or a modern vehicle that's met an untimely end, I handle them all with care and professionalism.
My mission is more than just hauling away scrap; it's about sustainability and giving these cars a new lease on life, whether through recycling, salvaging parts, or even restoring them for the road. As part of the Charles Trent team, one of the country's leading vehicle recyclers, we're committed to eco-friendly practices, ensuring that each car is processed with the environment in mind.
So, buckle up and join me on this journey of discovery, challenges, and the occasional unexpected twist. Don't forget to subscribe for a regular dose of automotive adventures and insights into the fascinating world of vehicle recycling!

London and Diesel's - likely to be DPF related. I remember when diesel's hit 500k miles with only 6000 mile oil changes, now they barely make 80k. That is evolution for you.

For some reason cars invoke an uncharacteristic dishonesty level in people. The Yaris was definitely not a scrapper, but many people are ignorant or have been ripped off by bad garages.

Kev another quality video! You had me chuckling throughout - especially the "one extreme to the other" with the house numbers😆Brutal luck with the misdescribed vehicles, but at least you got a beaut of a Transit in the end! Safe travels back to the yard and enjoy that well-deserved cuppa. ☕

68 plate transit with 70 odd thousand miles on it ,looked like someone looked after it and smoked liked Thomas the tank engine,could be an injector fault famous for it happening or could be a turbo fault but looked worth saving and hope it goes onto the auction site and someone gets a really good van with some life left in it coz that’s still worth some money and defo worth saving

250 quid for that peugeot was abit scummy to be fair. I get customer faffed about but still. Allys, engine lights worth more than that. 5x profit on that one atleast 🤷 Not against you buddy, I know your only doing your job like, but when these company's charge £££ for alloys for example and your only giving customer less than that amount it's amusing. 250 on each car... That pug definitely worth way more than that though. These salvage company's honestly 😅

It does surprise me the age of some of the vehicles going to scrap, obviously can only be down to poor maintenance and not staying on top of repairs. No way should 10yr old vehicles be going to scrap.

I do lots of short journeys, can't really help it with where I live and what I need the car for and only cover about 5- 6k miles a year but I have my car religiously serviced (every year a major service, no minor or interim services) and MOT' ed every 12 months (July), if it gets an advisory in the MOT or they mention something in the service, I get it done without fail and if it needs something in-between, it also gets done without fail.
